[Intro]

Oh, the mouth of the river

Oh, the mouth of the river

Oh, the mouth of the river

I wanna live a life like that

Live the life of the faithful one

Wanna bow to the floor

With everybody else wanna be someone

I wanna make some love

I don't want no enemies

Oh, it's the curse of the man

Always living life, living life

living just to please

[Chorus]

Oh, the mouth of the river

And the wrath of the giver

With the hands of a sinner

Oh, the mouth of the river

Oh, the mouth of the river

And the wrath of the giver

With the hands of a sinner

Oh, the mouth of the river

Oh, I'm alkaline

I'm always keeping to the basics

I'm overboard

I'm self-destructive

And self-important

And I'm anxious

Oh, I'm self-assured

I'm nervous

And I'm pacing, oh, I'm pacing

[Chorus]

Oh, the mouth of the river

And the wrath of the giver

With the hands of a sinner

Oh, the mouth of the river

Oh, the mouth of the river

And the wrath of the giver

With the hands of a sinner

Oh, the mouth of the river

Oh, the mouth of the river

Oh, the mouth of the river

And I am going under

Oh, I am going under

I am going under

Oh, I am going under

I am going under

Oh, the mouth of the river

And the wrath of the giver

With the hands of a sinner

Oh, the mouth of the river

Oh, the mouth of the river

And the wrath of the giver

With the hands of a sinner

Oh, the mouth of the river

Oh, the mouth of the river

Oh, the mouth of the river
